I'm so sorry to hear about your struggles. I like e with anxiety and it has cost me 2 jobs and I'm scared it might cost me the one I have now. Luckily my husband is my supervisor so he knows the deal. I also went ahead and spoke to my big boss and confessed my anxiety levels and explained that that's why I would often call out or leave early. Guess what? She told me that she suffered with something similar and is on meds for it. Well, I'm not telling you to go ahead and tell everyone you meet what's going on with you but I do suggest you speak with a professional. I rely on my husband I'm sure your boyfriend wants nothing but the best for you as well. You are very young speak to a professional and you might be able to back to school and do whatever it is you really want. Remember that you are not alone although it might feel that way at times. You can do this you can make this right. Best of luck to you and your family.

Hello to whoever cares to read this. I am a 35 year old female. I got my first panic attack over 10 years ago but I would ignore it or I would do breathing exercises. The anxiety then was very rare. My father passed away in 2007 and that's when I noticed my anxiety would come on more frequently. I could now speak of my dad just fine. I miss him but I have accepted the fact that he's not longer here. About 1 year ago my anxiety started up again more frequently. It would be once a month to several times a month to once a week and now every single day. It got so severe that I walked into the ER and I was placed in a tiny, dirty room for observation. After that day I vowed to take control. I want to be able to take my son to the park. I don't want to miss any more birthday parties, BBQs or special events. I've never taken medication for what I have but I've come to the realization that I need meds. I don't want to be sleepy or high on meds I just want to be happy again. I don't want to lose my job, I don't want to put a strain on my marriage and I definitely don't want to miss anymore of my son's life. I've done some research on meds and I'm currently waiting on my psyc appointment. I would love to hear from anyone on meds. Thank you.
